Louisville voice

A Louisville woman is once again lending her voice to "Christmas in Washington," an annual, star-studded holiday concert that airs on TNT.

Colleen O'Connor, a former radio personality and the owner of Elements Therapeutic Massage in Westport Village, will be the narrator/emcee for the event, which was filmed Sunday, attended by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, and hosted by late-night TV talk-show host Conan O'Brien.

Korean rapper Psy, known for his hit song "Gangnam Style" and who broke Justin Bieber's record for the most-viewed video of all time on YouTube, is slated to be on hand during the festivities.

Other Hollywood stars scheduled to perform, according to the Washington Post, include Demi Lovato, Scott McCreery, Diana Ross, "Smash" star Megan Hilty and Chris Mann from "The Voice."

The show, a benefit for the Children's National Medical Center, airs at 8 p.m. Dec. 21.

Why slated for NuLu

Why Louisville - the Highlands store that celebrates all things Derby City - is planning to open a second location in NuLu in the spring.

Owner Will Russell said he anticipates opening in March in the 800 block of East Market Street, near the Please & Thank You record store and cafe.

He says the new location will have an art gallery that will feature "local, regional artists, who are younger, more accessible, up-and-coming ? D.I.Y., self-taught." The store will participate in the First Friday Trolley Hops in NuLu.

The size of the retail space will be similar to that in the 1583 Bardstown Road store. Because details are still being finalized, Russell couldn't be more specific about the address.
